Journal ArticleDOI
Ernst Mayr and the modern concept of species
TL;DR: Reconciliation of incompatible species definitions and the development of a unified species concept require rejecting the interpretation of various contingent properties of metapopulation lineages, including intrinsic reproductive isolation in Mayr's definition, as necessary properties of species.
Journal ArticleDOI
Phylogeny as a central principle in taxonomy: phylogenetic definitions of taxon names.
TL;DR: Defining the names of taxa in terms of common ancestry, that is, using phylogenetic definitions of taxon names, departs from a tradition of character-based definitions by granting the concept of evolution a central role in taxonomy.

TL;DR: The evolution of the amniotic egg was one of the great evolutionary innovations in the history of life, freeing vertebrates from an obligatory connection to water and thus permitting the conquest of terrestrial environments as discussed by the authors.
Journal ArticleDOI
Toward a phylogenetic system of biological nomenclature
TL;DR: The development of a phylogenetic system of nomenclature requires reformulating these concepts and principles so that they are no longer based on the Linnean categories but on the tenet of common descent.
Journal ArticleDOI
Phylogenetic systematics and the species problem
TL;DR: Examination of species concepts that focus either on interbreeding or on common descent leads us to conclude that several alternatives are acceptable from the standpoint of phylogenetic systematics but that no one species concept can meet the needs of all comparative biologists.
